To evaluate the current literature comparing outcomes of robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) versus laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) treating complex renal tumors (RENAL nephrometry score ≥7).
We systematically searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Google Scholar, EMBASE, and Scopus databases up to March 2023. Review Manager 5.4 performed a pooled analysis of the data for random effects. Besides, sensitivity and subgroup analyses to explore heterogeneity, Newcastle-Ottawa scale, and GRADE to evaluate study quality and level of evidence.
Eight observational studies comprising 1346 patients (RPN: 695; LPN: 651) were included in this study. Compared to LPN, RPN had a shorter operative time (OT) (weight mean difference [WMD]: -14.73 min; p = 0.0003), shorter warm ischemia time (WIT) (WMD: -3.47 min; p = 0.002), lower transfusion rate (odds ratio [OR]: 0.66; p = 0.04), shorter length of stay (LOS) (WMD: -0.65 days; p < 0.00001), lower postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) change (WMD = -2.33 mL/min/1.73 m2; p = 0.002) and lower intraoperative complications (OR: 0.52; p = 0.04). No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of estimated blood loss (EBL) (p = 0.84), conversion to radical nephrectomy (p = 0.12), postoperative complications (p = 0.11), major complications (defined Clavien-Dindo grade 3 (p = 0.43), overall complications (p = 0.15), postoperative eGFR (p = 0.28), local recurrence (p = 0.35), positive surgical margin (PSM) (p = 0.63), overall survival (OS) (p = 0.47), cancer-specific survival (CSS) (p = 0.22) and 3-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) (p = 0.53).
Patients with complex renal tumors (RENAL score ≥7), RPN is superior to LPN in decreasing the OT, WIT, LOS, transfusion rate, change in eGFR and the incidence of intraoperative complications while maintaining oncological control and avoiding a decline in renal function. However, our findings need further validation in a large-sample prospective randomized study.
评估当前比较机器人辅助肾部分切除术(RPN)与腹腔镜肾部分切除术(LPN)治疗复杂肾肿瘤(RENAL肾计量评分≥7)疗效的文献。
我们系统检索了截至2023年3月的Cochrane图书馆、PubMed、谷歌学术、EMBASE和Scopus数据库。Review Manager 5.4对数据进行随机效应的汇总分析。此外,进行敏感性和亚组分析以探索异质性,采用纽卡斯尔-渥太华量表和GRADE评估研究质量和证据水平。
本研究纳入了8项观察性研究,共1346例患者(RPN组:695例;LPN组:651例)。与LPN相比,RPN的手术时间(OT)更短(加权均数差[WMD]:-14.73分钟;p = 0.0003),热缺血时间(WIT)更短(WMD:-3.47分钟;p = 0.002),输血率更低(比值比[OR]:0.66;p = 0.04),住院时间(LOS)更短(WMD:-0.65天;p < 0.00001),术后估计肾小球滤过率(eGFR)变化更低(WMD = -2.33 mL/min/1.73 m²;p = 0.002),术中并发症发生率更低(OR:0.52;p = 0.04)。两组在估计失血量(EBL)(p = 0.84)、转为根治性肾切除术的比例(p = 0.12)、术后并发症(p = 0.11)、主要并发症(定义为Clavien-Dindo 3级,p = 0.43)、总体并发症(p = 0.15)、术后eGFR(p = 0.28)、局部复发(p = 0.35)、手术切缘阳性(PSM)(p = 0.63)、总生存期(OS)(p = 0.47)、癌症特异性生存期(CSS)(p = 0.22)和3年无复发生存期(RFS)(p = 0.53)方面未观察到显著差异。
对于复杂肾肿瘤(RENAL评分≥7)患者,RPN在缩短OT、WIT、LOS、输血率、eGFR变化及术中并发症发生率方面优于LPN,同时能维持肿瘤学控制并避免肾功能下降。然而,我们的研究结果需要在大样本前瞻性随机研究中进一步验证。
